EDITOR CANTON DEMoCRAT:-Th edi.
tor of the Navarro Independent, through
the columns of his paper, has knowing
ly lied about Mr.. RickseOker, Mr.. POcOch
and myself, the three country mem
bers" Of the Board.
On July 19 there was c0mmunica-
tiOn sent to the Cleveland Leader by ite
correspondent, claiming that the Ro.
chester members of the Board took ex
ceptiOns, as they were opposed, 1t aD
pears, to the public being informed OF
their proceedings. Now / claim, and
the editor admitted before G. G. Barnett
and James N, OOrl, that he Derused the
said communication to the Leader after
/, on that same afternoon. had offered
him free access to all books, 80 that he
could get q true statement Of tho facts.
But In the face of ali this, he allowed
the communication to pass without an
exDlanR alton, and to be printed In the
Leader and reproduced In the Indepen-
dent of July %, knowing 1t to be a ma
llciOgs lie against Mr.. PocOck, Mr.. Rick
seeker and myself. That Is Christianity
with an b to 1t. l told him that we
three members wanted the proceedings
printed In full and not misrepresent US.
The communication sent to the Leader
signed by myself, D. Ricksecker and d.
B POcOck was an answer to the one sent
in by Its correspondent. Now for tie
issue OF July 20
Lie No. 1. In the issue he says: "The
Independent does not want to wage war
hn thEaa Vno haWd NJ thn 2nhnaI
Board" msaning P0cOok, Ricksecker
and myself, but he Dronounces bare.
faced Misrepresentation. Mark the In
consistency OF man that wllfully mis-
represents Us after he knows 1t Is the
truth. | think IL Editor C0rl would
ever come up before the 'LiRrs' C0nven-
ti0n" he would take the belt without a
contest. He fears that POcock and
Rlcksecker "lnnUcently" and Ignorant
Iy" signed their names to the article
sent to the Leader through misrepre-
sentstion by me, which is another lie
OF his own make.
He claims tried to start a boycott,
which is another lie. The "image" Of
a man who told him that story, wanted
/. B. Pocock and myself to 60 down
town and stop, what he termed the "yel-
per," If anybody has tried to boycott
yOu Editor COrl, there is law, which
the sooner you enforce against said
boycottere the better 1t will be for you,
as I fear y01 may fall victim to "s0ft-
ening Of the brain"
Now for another out Of whole cloth:
"CIerk HOaglsnd called special meet
ing OF the school beard last Thursday
ni9ht, Mr.. Ls0n is President Of the
hoard and should call special meetings
jnstead OF the Clerk" Now as to that
in Dresence of j. N. Oorl and myself,
Mr.. Barnett, member Of the board, told
Editor COrl that he first spoke to me
about special meeting, also that he
wrote the request and was the first man
"a IGN IL, requesting the President to
cali a special meeting. He (Mr. Bar
nett) sent the request up to me with his |
son. and POcock, Rlcksecker and myself \
aignad il and l sent 1t 60 the President |
Win NV son, and he sent nae word to 4
notify directors for Thursday evening.
Now. after Mr.. Barnett, whose verRcity \
M oi,e will question. told Editor Corl |
the above. I asked him to correct the /
statement. he said In the presence of |
I. nj. Corl and G. G. Barnett that he
wanid not, as he did not wish to antag-
onize his friends. Now as Christian
wouId he rather let q lie stand In his
psper than to correct 1t and state the
trnthP But 1t is In keeping
With the "wonld.be Mayor" who
IN Anril 1888, sent dispatch to the
rlayeland Herald, Of which have o du-
nljcate copy, that the writer Of this ar
tIcle had committed euicide through |
"nos,s'cal disappointment" A man
who vbuld maliclously send dispatch |
~ that Kind. In my ODiDion. will stoop |
n ANYTHING low and mean. And any |
uerson NJ wnv would expect such falei
Ser 10 correct lie which he prints in |
his paper, proven TO be a lie to bis own
